What more can He say than to you He hath said, Who unto the Saviour for refuge have fled, Who unto the Saviour for refuge have fled? 2 "Fear not, I am with thee; O be not dismayed; For I am thy God, and will still give thee aid; I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand Upheld by My righteous, omnipotent hand, Upheld by My righteous, omnipotent hand. 3 "When through the deep waters I call thee to go, The rivers of sorrow shall not overflow; For I will be with thee, thy troubles to bless, And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress, And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress. 4 "When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie, My grace, all-sufficient, shall be thy supply; The flame shall not hurt thee; I only design Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine, Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine. 5 "E'en down to old age all My people shall prove My sovereign, eternal, unchangeable love; And then, when gray hairs shall their temples adore, Like lambs they shall still in My bosom be borne, Like lambs they shall still in My bosom be borne. 6 "The soul that on Jesus hath leaned for repose, I will not, I cannot desert to His foes; That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake, I'll never--no never--no never forsake! I'll never--no never--no never forsake!" Amen.

Though earthquake shocks are threatening her, And tempests are abroad;-- 4 Unshaken as eternal hills, Immovable she stands, A mountain that shall fill the earth, A house not made by hands.

Show us that bright shore Where we weep no more. 4 Jesus, lead Thou on Till our rest is won.
